Located opposite what is now a K-Sport shop, the ruins of an old tannery became the focus of a strange incident around fifteen years ago.

A young couple arranged to meet there and explore the derelict building. Inside, they took several photographs of each other against the dark, crumbling interior before leaving the site.

Later, while reviewing the images, they noticed shapes and figures appearing in the background of the photographs that had not been visible at the time. One image seemed to show an elderly man standing between the couple. Another appeared to show a young girl positioned behind them, wearing what looked like a white dress, her head tilted at an unnatural angle. In several of the photos, additional indistinct forms could also be seen.

The young man showed the photographs to his father. After examining them, the father warned both him and his girlfriend not to return to the tannery, believing the place to be unsafe.

Despite this, the couple went back a short time later. Not long after entering the building, they reported hearing unexplained noises echoing through the interior. When the boy took out his phone, he noticed that the number “666” had appeared on the screen in an unusual way.

At that point, the girl became extremely distressed and ran from the building, refusing to go back inside. The experience was enough to convince her never to return.
